Your wworlds havve been destroyed. WWhat part of that message wwas unclear?
Abandon the childish notion of evventual return; it's avversivve to behold.

If you are still unawwares, I must advvise against exploration of floor twwenty-four.

He couldnt afford a more talented 2lave but wanted 2omethiing to boa2t about to hii2 kii2me2ii2

[orphans]

Howw wwasteful, apparent inabilities aside.

[nevermind that he would probably do the same.]

There are sevveral floors here you could take advvantage of in order to better hone your skills.

[ii2cariiot]

You thiink 2o?
IIve triied iin the pa2t two hone them but iit never work2

[orphans]

I thought I'd made my stance on the issue clear.

[ii2cariiot]

Two try harder?

[orphans]

Correct.

[ii2cariiot]

IIf that ii2 what you wii2h then ii wiill try harder

[orphans]

Good. You do havve the potential, after all.
You must report significant improvvement to Her Imperious Condescension. I'm sure she wwould be thrilled to hear it from the battery itself.

[ii2cariiot]

Are you 2ure?
II dont thiink her imperiiou2 conde2cen2iion want2 to hear from a lowblood or a battery a2 you de2criibed iit
Atlea2t not on the 2ame level2

[orphans]

If you wwish to please her, then it wwouldn't do to doubt her sea dwwellers.

[ii2cariiot]

Oh ii diidnt mean to iimply doubt on you 2iir
Or two doubt her iimperiiou2 conde2cen2iion

Indeed.

[he's not sure if he buys all this, what with how he's yet to meet a single loyal lowblood here-- if only because it's almost too good to be true at this point.]

[ii2cariiot]

[Well dualscar, then you'd be a poobrain not to believe in this precious, innocent baby. But uh, he notices the pause between words.]

2iir?

[orphans]

I'vve nothing further to say to you.

[ii2cariiot]

Oh ii apologiize then
